Artifact Overview

Scholars have known that Henry Ford approached Frank Lloyd Wright to design his home. This drawing is evidence that Wright worked on the project before his departure for Europe in September 1909. The commission then went to Wright's assistant, Marion Mahony, who submitted this rendering to Clara Ford in February 1914. Soon after, Henry Ford replaced Mahony with William Van Tine, who completed the house.
